Agreed. Although making money through info products is easy well. But one needs to build a social presence for months/years before selling info products.

Right, so to be successful with info products you need a lot of patience and willingness to invest in building your "presence" - if you're not prepared or willing to go through that, then it's not going to be "easy" to earn money this way ... that's what I mean when I say that freelancing is the most obvious and straightforward way to make money as a dev, because it means doing what you like and what you're naturally good at. All of the other options are much more of a long shot and don't come naturally to most people.
